This is where the LOL Ridiculous Hands go (1 Viewer)

[bergs]

There are too many threads on this site about nits and nitty hands and not getting it all in. Too much darkness will result in imbalance in the force, so I'm creating this thread altruistically to bring light to the masses.

This is where you post your ridiculous hands that impossibly, inexplicably, incredibly ended up winning.

Here's my biggest LOL hand from a casino:

5/10 NLHE at Foxwoods. I have 6d4d and it's a pretty soft must-move table. Effective stacks are 2K. I raisville preflop OTB to $50 (pretty standard for this table). I get 2 callers - one from the blinds and one field player.

The flop is beautiful. 2-3-5, giving me the nut straight. The BB bets $125, and the field player calls. I decide that I can throw a raise out there and get at least one call with 2 villains, so I make it $300 to go. BB thinks about it for a while, and finally folds. Field player raises to $800, and I instantly jam, and he instacalls.

I figure I'm facing a set, but he rolls over 64. Wow, both of us are LOLidiots. Well, at least we'll get lots of action for the rest of the session at the must-move table.

Then it hits me.

He has 6s4s, and the board is 2s-3s-5d.

Fuuuuuuuuck. I need to fade a flush draw here to win the ~$4K pot.

Luckily the turn and river are both red cards, and I announce "man, I'm happy with the chop".

That's when I notice the turn and river are both diamonds. I scooped with a dirty backdoor flush.

WHEEEEEEEEEE!

 

[fish72s]

I limped with 64s and flopped the nut straight and a flush draw and.......wait I lost that one.
(EDIT : You posted as I was typing. the 64s is a strange coincidence. I lost to a bigger straight. )

I raised MP with 57s and flopped a straight. No slow play. I bet strong on 3 streets and ......F**k I lost that one too.

I was in the SB with 97s and flopped a straight and was drawing dead.....

Give me a minute, I know there must have been one sometime.

I stuck this in the Live Stacks thread before as well, but wanted to include it here as it happened today.

Playing 1/2 at a local legal poker club and I have 3h5d OTB. Effective stacks are $150. I raise to $15 (standard raise at this table) and get a couple callers. My image is pretty tight - only hand I've gotten involved in so far that went to showdown was KK < AA pre.

Flop is Ah-2h-3d. I have middle pair and a gutter for the wheel. Both players check to me and I make it $30 to go. BB raises to $75, and the field player folds. I'm pretty short at this point if I just flat (I have $105 remaining) so I jam and BB instacalls.

I'm praying for a 5 or a 4, so imagine my horror when the turn is a red king. I notice that it's the Kh, just as the dealer puts out the 8h on the river, and I sheepishly table my hand and announce "horrifically bad flush".

Villain is on the other side of the dealer and doesn't hear me, so he tables a black AK and announces "I win". Dealer leans over and pushes forward my 3h for the monster flush and I scoop the pot as the table snickers.

Sometimes (oftentimes) it's better to be lucky than good.

P.S. Just realized that a 3 would've shipped me the pot as well. Look how many out I had! (Note the singular use of "out").

This sounds like a PLO hand history. Flop the nut straight and lose. Rinse and repeat. PLO is brutal.

P.S. I love PLO.

Nope. Those are all NLHE hands! The 64s hand was at MrTree's Shootout Meetup 2 years ago.

My worst PLO hand is AAQT double suited and flopping AJ9 and and the nut flush draw..... I lost that one too.

P.S. I hate PLO.

I think everyone has holdings that they remember winning big pots with. I've won an inordinate, statistically weird amount of big pots at NLHE with 64. I remember a 2/5 NLHE hand at Foxwoods a couple years ago where I raised to $25 and got basically the entire table to call me, and flopped 664 (two suits). I figured with 8 other players in the pot, someone was going to look me up, and the preflop raise pretty much my actual holdings out of my range. There was like $200 in there so I bet $300 and got a jam from a guy in the blinds. He slowplayed QQ. I'm praying that a Q doesn't come, and sigh in relief when the 6 hits the turn to lock it up.

I had another hand at Casesar's playing 1/2 where I had 64o. I called a raise to $15 in late position with a very loose and intoxicated player. Flop 445 and I lead when he checks. He flats. Turn 6. He checks again and I jam, and he slowly calls. River Q and he tables QQ for the bigger rivered boat.

80% of the time, it works 100% of the time. (This was the 20%).

I didn't win this one, but it is funny now.

Playing in my cousins family friendly tournament. It is still early, with blinds around 50/100. I'm not doing great, and an older lady (70's or older) has been a thorn in my side. I get squirrelly and raise to about 450 with 34 off and get 2 callers. The flop comes in A25. Older lady bets. I shove for around 4K, and the other player tanks. He folds and she snap calls. She turns over A8 off to my flopped straight. Turn 8, river 8. Other player (@kirchhausen ) had A5 that hand.

I want nice at that game for a while after that. I'm better now, and get along with most everyone now... so that is a win.

WHEEEEEEEEEE!

That's absolute gold. I'd have felt filthy and amazing at the same time.

Not quite as bad but after getting AA twice and winning $1000 in 15 minutes, I was feeling pretty confident.

Called a loose players $20 raise with my 99. Flop was 2 6 8 and he raised to $25 which I re raised to $50. Turn was a 3 and he checked and re raised my $50 to $100. at this point I still put him on something like a8 or k8 given his hand history. River was a 9 so I bet another $100. He called an turned over KK.

He was pretty annoyed and I felt suitably shamefaced after such a dirty river and taking my stack from $150 to around $1450 in the space of 25 minutes.

 

[krafticus]

I've also seen (wasn't in the hand) a crazy hand. Home game on a military base, and I'm in the final 3 or 4 in the tournament. All of a sudden, everyone in the cash game is going nuts. They were three handed, and the flop came out Q7x. No idea what the action was, but all three were all in. They table heir hands, and all 3 players had Q7 for top 2 pair.

I didn't see a forum for "ridonkulous poker hands". It involves hand histories hence the strat thread.

I used to play in the EPT (Eastern Poker Tour) self-dealt bar league. Nightly tournaments and food for $15, not a horrible deal but the quality of play is, in short, horrendous.

I saw a hand where 78 got it in on a 784 flop against 74. Both had jammed pre to squeeze the rest of us out. Turn 4 putting player two ahead. River 8 giving player one the pot.

But then we noticed that the wrong guy had dealt the flop, turn and river cards - from the other deck.

Floor decided that they'd just run out the board from the proper deck.

Flop 446 putting player two ahead. Turn 8. River 8. Hilarity ensues as player two scoops again and player one goes absolutely space bonkers bullshit.

 

[bergs]

Speaking of ridiculous hands, if you want to experience the unbridled ecstasy of poker, play an Omaha/8 game and get it 3 ways where your 78 low takes half the pot.

My favorite thing to do when this happens (I've done it a few times but only called with 78 once to win the low intentionally) is to make WHOOP WHOOP sounds and then pretend I'm pulling on an airplane yoke while saying in a mechanical voice "PULL...UP. TERRAIN. PULLLL. UPPP."

I mangled a hand with Guinness once at VERY deep stacked 1/2 NLHE. His holdings were definitely LOLful.

I have $2500 and he has over $9K. Yes, it's 1/2 NLHE at a local club, just fucking get over it. We're idiots.

I had AA and raised pre to $30 (standard) when he reraised to $120. I call.

Flop xxQr. This gave me pause. Guinness' goto line whenever he raises and you fold is a shrug and a murmured "I had queens", so that's in his range, but so are the instructions and one of the jokers.

I check (I told you I mangled this hand) and he bets $300. I call.

Turn is Ad, putting 2 diamonds on board. I bet $400 and he calls.

River is a Xd, completing whatever masochistic oddball suicide flush draw that either of us may have been on. I check, he bets $350, and I call.

He rolls over Qd4d for the masochistic oddball suicide flush.

Cliffs: the bad man raised to $120 at 1/2 when we were more than 1000bb deep and he only had Q4 but he won because he's a suicidal masochistic poo flinging rabid monkey (also because I'm an idiot, but that's far less interesting).

 

[upNdown]

All I know is I gotta start playing 6-4 more often.

 

[kk405]

Was playing a deep $2/5 game at Parx. I had almost 3K in front of me and BB had about $500. Fold to me on the button and I raise to $25 with AA, SB makes it $85 and BB folds. I flat call.

Flop is A34 rainbow. He best $125, I raise to $350, he insta-jams for $1300 more. I was going to insta-call, but thought he might, just might, have 52, and may have flopped the nuts. Started to talk to him and he clearly was nervous. Then he tells me he has the nuts and jammed because he didn't want to get outdrawn. It felt like this was his case money, entire bankroll or his rent money. Not sure which, but he clearly was happy to just win whats was already in the pot. He then said I will show you.I told him I have top set and I never ever fold sets on the flop. He then got even more nervous and flipped over his cards: yup, he had flopped a straight. I then proceeded to tell him that I am very sorry but I still have to call you. As I said before, I don't fold sets on the flop. Needless to say he wasn't happy when the river card showed up

You're lucky you didn't lose more money in that hand

There was a weird dynamic on the turn where Guinness and I wanted to freeze the pot and run the river twice (we'd been HU since the flop so absolutely no impression of collusion and the pot size was getting ridiculous). The room didn't allow that, so we had to continue with the hand. I can't speak for Guinness but that definitely threw me off my process of trying to get a read on the hand (not that it mattered - Guinness is a better player than I am and likely would've outplayed me anyway).

Those stupid 8's. I had AK on an AK5 board. Villain bets, I raise, he jams, I snap. He rolls over A8 and you know the rest. Running 8's with many apologies "I thought you were bluffing" comments. Meh.. back to it.

Tournament in a league I played in before I started the IDPL. The hand in question is against local Max who many of you have met at S@P.

I had been Uber aggressive all night raising and reraising everything in sight and hitting often enough that when I bluffed no one felt easy about calling. But I could tell Max was getting tired of it and looking for a chance to pop me back. On the hand in question Max raises from early position. I look down at 44 and think, if I hit a set on this flop and overbet it I can probably stack Max here.

The flop comes A4? (I forgot the third card which is irrelevant.) we have hit Yahtzee. If Max has an ace with the way I have been betting there is no way he is sitting it down to me. Max bets from early position and I pop it back, and with an unusually large raise as well. Max immediately comes over the top for an all in and I snap call him. I tell Max I have a set and he winces. I stand up and flip my cards over and show....33. Somehow I totally misread my hand and have absolutely nothing but a small pair beneath everything on the board. I am stunned and can't believe what I have done, until Max flips his hand and I see KQ. Max was on a stone cold bluff and I snapped him while ahead with the underpair to the board. The turn and river run blanks and I win the pot with my crappy pair.

I was playing 2/5 one time and thought I had raised pre with 56s. I proceed to 4 bet jam on a 234r board. Other player tanks for a long time (several minutes) and is basically interrogating me for my holdings.

I theatrically announce that I'll check my cards and maybe show him one. To my horror, I glance down and don't see 56. I have Q6. This is my 20th hour at the table and I'd stupidly thought I had 56, which I did have the previous hand to this one.

Took every ounce of control that I had not to show that I just jammed with Q high and a gutter. Took the other guy north of 5 minutes but he finally folded. I tabled my hand like I had intentionally kamikaze 4 bet bluffed the flop, and got all the action I could handle my rest of the time at this table.

High Only? is that even allowed at BBotb?

On double board Omaha, yes. Otherwise if it's double board hi/Lo, people get 5.2/8th'd and we need individual abacuses to split pots.
